When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
~Max Planck
I am lightheartedly and aesthetically experimenting with the tenants of quantum mechanics by imagining, projecting, and repeating preferred content to impress the subconscious mind—making it more likely to create the experience in the physical world.
~ Hubby on the works
Inside Job series
These text-based paintings are made on custom-stretched canvases of Hubby’s own dimension: 5’4” x 17.25. Each painting is a mantra that doubles as an aspiration. The project underscores Mahatma Gandhi’s apropos message, that when you want to change the world, start with yourself. Additional works from the series are available—visit the Inside Job page to view more.

surrender series
Hubby recontextualizes appropriated cartoons that illustrate the phases she travelled through during the pandemic.

mantras series
Hubby’s broad range of text-based work in the series shares the use of positive, aspirational verbiage, which may change attitudes and behavior. They are both a physical manifestation and a passive sender of experience dependent neuroplasticity, changing neural pathways through positive reinforcement.

positively earnest series
The self portraits created for the series show Hubby in idealized landscapes. It’s a physical act of visualization, based on the power pose—a manifestation of a body’s ability to change the mind. The words on the sweatpants communicate a manifestation. The humor employed was a wink to the Juicy sweatpant craze, reimagined.
